It's kind of a cool feature, but of course as with any new addition to any MMO, there's plenty of criticism.

The quest is completable by 11 people per server per week. Yes, everyone benefits from the sigil buffs, but only those 11 people get the reward that everyone really wants: the Kupofried Ring, the godly exp %+ ring.

Before the feature was even released the shady cheaters who reign supreme in the worlds of vanadiel were theorizing how they could design bots to find the tablets. Whether or not it turned out to be possible to bot, I don't know, but I think it's indicative of how out of touch SE is with their game that they keep adding and adding these new features without addressing the game's major problems.

Yet another feature that rewards luck and nothing else. Yet another feature that will most likely be monopolized and ruined by the cheating end game majority.

FFXI: lie, cheat and steal or you're worthless.
